Question

For every hour he spends doing homework, Denzel plays video games for 1/4 hour. What is the cost of proportionality for the relationship between time playing video games and time doing homework?​

Answer 1

3/4 hour doing homework and 1/4 hour playing video games

Explanation:

Denzel spends 3/4 hour doing homework and 1/4 hour playing video games. So, he spends 3 times as much time doing homework as playing video games.

So, for every hour spent doing homework, he plays 1/4 hour of video games.

Denzel’s relationship between the amount of time he spends playing video games and doing homework is proportional. It is a direct relationship because as one thing increases, the other increases too. It is not a 1:1 ratio because he spends 3 times more time doing homework than playing video games.
